Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Simulation
  • Urology

Background:

  • Suprapubic catheter (SPC) insertion is a critical skill for surgical trainees.
  • Lack of simulation models and unpredictable need hinder skill acquisition, increasing risks of urethral injury.
  • Improper catheterization is a known cause of urethral strictures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a cost-effective suprapubic catheter insertion model.
  • To assess the model's influence on trainee confidence and understanding.
  • To provide realistic anatomical and sensory feedback for simulation.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a prototype SPC model with three anatomic parts: bladder, anterior abdominal wall, and housing box.
  • The bladder component features a balloon with Mefix tape to prevent leakage and ensure durability.
  • Designed for rapid simulation cycling in clinical workshops.

Main Results:

  • The prototype model offers realistic visual and sensory feedback.
  • The model is designed to be cost-effective and easily replicable.
  • Aims to increase trainee understanding and confidence in SPC insertion.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SPC model is easily replicable for clinical schools.
  • It can be integrated into surgical workshops for hands-on training.
  • Ensures trainees gain experience before performing the procedure on patients.
